Premier League Predictions: Mark O'Haire Weekend Football Tips

Football betting analyst Mark O’Haire is back with his latest round of Premier League predictions for this weekend’s matches.

Vitalii Mykolenko Over 0.5 Shots

Advised Bet: 1pt @ 5/6 bet365

Everton and Burnley face-off in a relegation six-pointer at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon. The Toffees – winless in 13 Premier League fixtures – appear unreasonably short-priced favourites against an improving Clarets outfit. Nevertheless, home left-back Vitalii Mykolenko is attractively priced at 5/6 (1.83) on bet365 to cover the Over 0.5 Shots line.

The Ukrainian is already averaging exactly 1.00 shot across his 24 EPL appearances in 2023/24, with an eye-catching hit-rate for landing the bounty on Merseyside. Indeed, Mykolenko has attempted at least one effort at goal in nine of his 12 Goodison Park games this term and faces a Burnley side giving up 19+ shots on average away from home.

Jarrod Bowen to Score or Assist

Advised Bet: 1pt @ 6/5 Betfair

West Ham have been difficult to read in 2024; the Hammers are clinging onto a top-half position despite tabling only two Premier League triumphs this calendar year. Supporters are understandably frustrated by David Moyes’ approach with the Irons’ passive approach perhaps not best utilising an exciting front-four.

However, a trip to injury-hit Wolves should give West Ham a presentable opportunity for maximum points and England ace Jarrod Bowen is a nice 6/5 (2.20) to score or assist on Betfair. The Irons top goalscorer has been involved in 12 goals across 14 away league outings this season (eight goals, four assists), paying-out in this market in 10 of those 14 tussles.

Rodrigo Muniz Anytime Goalscorer

Advised Bet: 1pt @ 7/4 bet365

Marco Silva was deeply unimpressed by Fulham’s no-show at Nottingham Forest in midweek and has demanded a bounce back when the Cottagers return home for Saturday’s showdown with Newcastle. The capital club still harbour an outside chance of European qualification and should be eager to enhance an already impressive record in West London.

Fulham have won nine of 15 home fixtures, striking three times or more in seven of those victories, with one of the big contributors proving to be in-form Brazilian forward Rodrigo Muniz. Since breaking into the side in January, the 22-year-old has struck six goals in four Craven Cottage contests, grabbing eight goals across 11 overall Premier League starts.

I’m quite happy to get involved in Muniz again at 7/4 (2.75) against a Newcastle side with a rotten road record, with Toon also shipping multiple goals in nine of their 12 matches since Boxing Day.
